The Quiet American

+ More Film Noir Than Political Thriller
+ JOSEPH L. MANKIEWICZ, OPUS 15

I purchased this as a gift for my father-in-law for Father's Day and he loved it and is sharing it with others. There is no age bracket for a movie of this caliber.

Mort Sahl at the hungry i1 review
Mort Sahl

Verve, 2003

Great CD, but avoid Amazon.com!

A great slice of Mort Sahl's dry, understated sense of political humor circa 1960. As a teenager, I saw Mort at Ohio Wesleyan University (very late 60s or very early 70s) and was intrigued by his style, which creeps up on you rather than slaps you in the face (as most modern comedy unfortunately ...

Give Em Hell, Harry!2 reviews

Goodtimes Home Video, 1975

A filmed performance of James Whitmore's one-man show as Harry S Truman

One of the more unusual Oscar nominations in Hollywood history was James Whitmore for Best Actor in a Leading Role in 1976 for "Give 'Em Hell, Harry!" Whitmore's performance as Harry S Truman (remember the "S" does not stand for anything so it does not have a period after it as an initial) was ...

Jean Hagen Shines

+ ONE DETERMINED INDIVIDUAL
+ Wonderful Docudrama!

Ralph Bellamy and (to a lesser degree) Greer Garson won plaudits for the amazing way they sunk themselves into their roles as FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt; and Hume Cronyn is also very good, but for sheer professionalism acting honors go to Jean Hagen for her no-nonsense take as FDR's private ...
